Big plans...

Because who doesn't enjoy a miniature pine cone?
Plan for the next 2+ days...

1.  Attend lecture by Nobel Laureate economist and NY Times columnist Paul Krugman tonight. Travel down to London afterwards. Might not have time to blog about this talk, but I'm assuming it will be good.  Krugman is pretty awesome and always seems to be a much needed voice of reason in the economics debates. Also, you might remember him from his incredibly random cameo appearance in Get Him to the Greek.

2.  Tomorrow morning, suit up in our best all-whites, take the underground to Wimbledon, devour some strawberries and cream, and take in some Centre Court action from our front (and by front I mean back) row seats. How cool is it that those of us who are sufficiently tech savvy and quick on the trigger (like me, obviously) can buy tickets for Centre Court at the greatest tennis tournament in the world the day before you want to go for less than 50 pounds? I read somewhere that the Wimbledon ticketing process should be the model for all major sporting events...so far, I would agree.

3.  Repeat #2, but this time joining the morning queue for grounds passes...to get the full experience.  Practice court and outside court action is usually the best watching at the big tournaments.
